So here it is ⬇️

@a_vague_blur@IKEVF@netflix@MisfitsBoxing I agree on the appeal. But we know 100% like jakes boxing career, it's all gimmick fights with has beens. The world is crying out for a PureOrganisation of yesteryear! Trained killers. Elite Promotions. All gimmicks banned. All outside noise banned. The future of mma needs it.
@ThomasBinnie9@IKEVF@netflix@MisfitsBoxing Gotta get eyes on the promotion for a bit first til it becomes stable financially. Trust, I'm a huge fan of the up and comers, I watch all the DWCS and "small" fight night cards and shit, but yeah, gotta have some appeal to the masses, first.
@Dendeweg But people still watch his podcasts. After the weekend just proves he should not be anywhere near mma. Hope more fighters refuse to speak with him.
@MoneylineMiller@RondaRousey@netflix Very well said! Ronda hates not being relevant anymore. People like Ariel,Nina,Dillon also just ruining the sport! It's not a gimmick!
Ufc used to be the number 1, real warriors best of the best.
Hope new fighters start refusing to do anything with these people.
Dear @RondaRousey@netflix
Ronda Rousey’s “Matchmaking” at MVP Productions Was an Absolute Disgrace to MMA
I’m a passionate MMA fan. I really love this sport. I respect the fighters who grind every day, who put their bodies and hearts on the line for real wars that remind us why we watch. But what I saw last night on Netflix with MVP Productions and Ronda Rousey was an absolute disgrace to MMA.
Ronda wasn’t just fighting on the card — she was the quote-unquote matchmaker, basically playing Hunter Campbell for the whole show. She’s the one who put these fights together. And man, it was shameful.
Look at the matchups she booked. They were one-way train wrecks from top to bottom.
Junior Dos Santos, a former UFC heavyweight champion and a legend in this game, got thrown in against Robelis Despaigne. It was over quick — another first-round knockout. Then you’ve got Felipe Lins stepping up against Francis Ngannou. Remember when Francis was in the PFL saying any opponent fighting him should earn no less than a million dollars? That was the price they had to pay to step in the cage with him. Yet reports say Felipe Lins only got $100,000 last night. One hundred thousand. While Francis walked with $1.5 million. That’s not a fight — that’s a payday with a body attached.
And don’t even get me started on Mike Perry versus Nate Diaz. Nate hadn’t fought in years. The last time we saw him he basically gave up in the cage. Now you’re asking him to step in against Mike Perry — a guy who’s still active, still bare-knuckle fighting, still the self-proclaimed “King of Violence.” Perry absolutely molested Nate Diaz. He knocked him out and left his face looking like it went through a meat grinder by the end of the round. Ronda put that fight together too.
Then the main event: Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano. Seventeen seconds. An armbar. Done. Gina had no business being in there with her after all those years away, yet Ronda comes out gloating afterward, talking like she’s the best of all time. Come on. That’s like Michael Jordan coming out of retirement to play against a high school team and then calling himself the GOAT again.
These weren’t fights. They were quick, scripted-looking highlight reels designed for easy wins and big paydays for the big names. No heart. No back-and-forth. No respect for the sport or the fans who tuned in expecting actual competition. Real fighters like JDS, Lins, and a faded Nate Diaz got fed to the wolves for entertainment value, while Ronda celebrated like she put on the fight of the year.
This is what MVP Productions and Netflix gave us? A cynical cash grab wrapped in nostalgia. MMA has fought for years to be taken seriously as a legitimate sport. Events like this make casual fans roll their eyes and call it fake. They make dedicated fans like me furious and embarrassed for the game we love.
Ronda Rousey, as the person in charge of these matchups, carries a big part of the blame. She let the fighters down. She let the fans down. And she let the sport down.
I love MMA too much to stay quiet about this. Fighters deserve fair shots and real opportunities, not to be used as cannon fodder. Fans deserve actual fights, not 17-second memes. And this sport deserves way better than the disgrace we witnessed last night.
Exactly why Hunter Campbell didn’t want that fight when rousey suggested it. It Wasn’t competitive. Come to UFC and fight the best Rousey. Her name is @KaylaH
“I’m having some babies after this.” 😂
@RondaRousey confirms that she’s finished fighting after her fight against @GinaCarano 🙏

@chris_sutton73 It should never come to the point a family needs police protection! Regardless! SFA should be investigated. If there is no wrong doing that means they are incapable 🤷♂️ Either way something stinks 🤔 All Scottish Football Teams and fans deserve better!
🪖🤷♂️Ronda Rousey says that current MMA became too soft and fighters don’t fight like they did before:
“One thing that drives me crazy is when fighters walk out and high-five each other after already touching gloves.
I’m like, “Dude, they literally told you to touch gloves already. Why do it again?” Once the bell rings, that’s when you’re supposed to act like animals.
You see so much of that now because the incentive is not to lose. Fighters think, “Man, I can’t lose two in a row or I might get cut,” so they fight carefully.
Go back and watch old fights, like Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar. You don’t really see fights like that anymore.
The sportification of MMA has completely dulled it.”

@ginacarano Gina for the win 🏆 ronda sets up a podcast next to Ariel so they can complain how they are figure heads in the sport. GINA walks away to enjoy the rest of her life.
@netflixsports Pure fucking cringe 😂 Ronda is a horrible human being! Hates the fact she is irrelevant and still believes she should be entitled. Everyone knows you are up your own ass!!! Gina seems complete opposite. Shame she has to give this cantshadowbox has been the limelight.
RONDA ROUSEY VS. GINA CARANO FACE OFF
It's almost time for Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano to square up. 😮💨

@BlindBearMedia I believe if @arielhelwani ever tried it... that's what it would look like. Blows my mind that this man thinks he has a right towards this sport. Attention seeking 🐀
@MmaUnderdogz@arielhelwani still won't get his tongue out her ass! That is fucking embarrassing how she actually thinks she is all that. Shit human being and shit fighter. Take yer shit wannabe journalist with you and run away again please. Embarrassing the sport.
Martin opened the season with our worst start in over 40 years, his replacement ends the season with the first 4 defeats in a row for over 40 years.
Great stuff, lads
